... was occupied. i couldn't tell if there were fellow backpackers or homeless. then i saw their trolley. i went back up to the hostel via bakery which was open. i asked why they were open and they told me that they just open when they get in. it made sense at the time, but in hindsight, why do they get in at 2am?? the hostel had some couches in the porch area so i got my sheet out, changed into shorts, and settled down for the night. for my first night sleeping 'rough' it wasn't ...

we parked next to a skate park - g was happy enough. the site was literally the size of the Uk so a pain to walk around :P we wear also right next to the most beautiful little beach though so it was all good =) had our first encounter with 'christmas ...

... them. For our duration in Long Flat we had FIVE blankets on our bed at night, a record for us so far. We got to enjoy lots of touristy things in the surrounding area during our stay, visitng the local wildlife sanctuary where we got to see everything from snakes to Koalas and kangaroos( strangely enough it was only after we got to see kangaroos in the wildlife sanctuary that we starting seeing them in the fields in the wild), we also went whale ...

... fit and you're on the right lines) - I enjoyed myself rather a lot :D Thursday was our last full day in Byron and so we decided to go on a little excursion that we had been recommeneded in Melbourne. Apparently there was a lighthouse outside of town that was the Eastern most point of Australia. Well, it seems that was a little skewed, as there is a lighthouse, but the Eastern point is, in fact, a big rock at the edge of the beach. So we set off on the rainforest ...

... supper meal, we had a little barbee with sausages, hamburgers and things they called steaks haha. The stakes just made me laugh because they were about a centimeter thick, so not really a steak in my book. The cook, Sarah (an Ausie surfer with a ton of medals in competition) made great salads. They had just a random mix of things I don't even know that tasted so delicious. Potato, pasta, lettuce, they were all so delicious. After the meal we went back down ...

... morning to get them done then we are heading further south again. We can't believe how quick Christmas is coming. We shouldn't have too many problems getting to Sydney in time as it is only a 4 hour drive from here. We are stopping off in North Sydney next on Palm beach were Home and Away is filmed. We have added a bit of tinsel to the van as it isn't very xmassy around here.

... the stories of what had happened to the koalas before they arrived at the hospital. I was able to get some good pictures of them before wandering back to my hostel to get my bags together and then sign out. Once this was done I headed into town to get a bite to eat which turned out to be really tasty because I had a toasted prawn wrap which was amazing! I had a lot of time to spare so I decided to get a hair cut which was good timing because it started to rain. After my cut I headed ...

... aan ging doen maar dat had ze natuulrijk verkeerd gezien! Ik ga namelijk niet terug naar een kroeg/club waar ik geweigerd word en al helemaal niet om Ella te horen zingen!!!!! Volgende dag was het tijd voor het strand! Bleek dat er veel mooie stranden waren in Port Macquarie dus hebben we maar een "strandentocht" gehouden! Uiteindelijk op 3 verschillende stranden gelegen voor ongeveer 5 uur lang. En tijdens die 5 uur heb ik me ...
